Original Description:
   THIS AUCTION COMPLIES WITH EBAY CURRENT POLICIES AND IS NOT PROHIBITED  BECAUSE:
                                             ( EBAY REFERENCE # 1-220372808197 - 07/22/19 1650)

1. All three badges are OBSOLETE, VINTAGE and DO NOT resemble in any manner or form ...the current issued shield used by the United States Marshals Service;

2.  Pursuant to Ebay, Reference No. 1-220372808197, because the badges are both obsolete and vintage, they are not prohibited from listing on Ebay;

3.  The last time any of these shield were used by deputy U.S. Marshals dates back to at least 1935, possibly up to 1941 when the Justice Department created a standard badge for all sworn Marshal employees. That 1941 issued badge and the last two issued in 1970 and again in 1980 are distinctly different shields that do not resemble in any manner or form any of the three badges up for auction; and
4.  The badges up for auction ARE NOT of the design nor do any of them  resemble in any form the badge that is in current use authorized by the head of the U.S Marshals Service and the winner of the auction  acknowledges that the shields will only be used either as a collectable, a momento or in an exhibit. (auction is in full compliance with federal law, specifically Title 18 United States Code Section 701 and Pub.L 106-547, the governing statues that applies to badges issued by federal agencies and possession/transfer/receipt thereof)  

                                      Now that all the legal disclaimers have been made to ensure I don't get in trouble selling this badge, and you don't get into trouble buying it, be warned the auction is conditioned upon the buyer not using the shield to impersonate any law enforcement officer and will only be used as a collectable, historical item.  By failing to abide by the law, a sentence to imprisonment, a fine, or both could result. (see applicable law posted at end of this ad)

ENGRAVING: Navy Blue Ename; Eagle- red, white and blue
ATTACHMENT: Burgess catchMARKINGS: ED JONES CO OAKLAND CA
CONDITION:  Looks like new-but is not.The badges were purchased at a garage sale in Yucca, California while I was visiting my friend Dick Dale who lived nearby and a few months before he died. It was enclosed in a oak shadow box with other badges, wrapped with pages from Life Magazine dated August 30, 1963. (see attached photo)
The inside of oak shadow box was lined with a dark blue velvet cloth that the badges were attached to. (see attached photos) I did not know the badge was in the box as I was buying a batch of Rockwell plates that were wrapped in a much larger box.
On that note, the badges likely could have been owned by a badge collector or a deputy United States marshal or other constable years before 1963. I make that observation because the badge shadow box contained several other old badges as well as a few books entitled "Instructions To U.S. Marshals, Attorneys, Clerks & Commissioners" dated 1925; "Department of Justice Register of U.S. District Courts" dated 1926; an "AAA California Mileages" book dated 1940; and an old DOJ license plate which may have been issued in the 1930's. (see attached photos)Based upon the foregoing information, it is probably more likely than not the badges were owned by a collector who may have been a deputy U.S. Marshal at a date uncertain, but likely between 1935-1963.
I am not a collector of badges so "I don't need no stinkin' badges." I am a 100% capitalist so would rather have five Benji Franklin's + two Jacksons than the badge. You now know what I will accept.
Because I am not a badge collector and I could find no books that set forth badge prices, I had no idea what the value of this shield is, so, to find an answer I looked at several other deputy U.S. Marshal shields on Ebay that have been posted in the past thirty days to find a price that I believe is more than fair; fair to me because my monetary investment is minimal and fair to you, a collector to own a vintage old lawman's badge. (Recent Ebay auctions of deputy U.S. Marshal shields and stars: 303232392565; 123837560217; 123821568421; 143303501050; 173962695603; 264392275803; 183857940411; 183857940016; and 123820312730).
We are on Ebay, not Saks 5th Avenue where there are no badges and also no haggling, so don't be hesitant to make an offer not far from the starting bid  I'll won't be unreasonable, but neither should you.
If I intentionally misrepresented anything in this ad, return it!If you can help me date it, contact me and if the information is accurate, I will add it to the description.
Your task now is to do your due diligence. DON'T BUY THIS BADGE UNLESS YOU ARE 100% CONFIDANT WHAT IT IS.  I don't know and I don't want you mad at me.
WARNING: This obsolete Deputy United States Marshals badge does not resemble any current issued law enforcement badge of any entity, and  it is a historical piece to be displayed by collectors in a sealed case at home or office. The badge conveys absolutely no authority or law enforcement powers of any kind and if the purchaser uses it to convey such to anyone, pursuant to Title 18 USC 701, the person is subject to prosecution and under federal law can be found guilty of a Class B misdemeanor, facing a fine or imprisonment of up to six months.  It is the buyer's responsibility to follow all local, state, and federal laws. By bidding on this item the buyer agrees to only use this item in a lawful manner, in other words placed in a display case on your wall or desk. You've been warned.(See U.S. v Jackson 754 F.3d 1116 (9th Cir. 2014); U.S. v Roe (575 F.Supp. 2d 690 (D.Md. 2008)
